“If you're part of the Network Generation, you don't have to belong just to one n…” — Douglas Alexander

The Network Generation are secure in, and proud of, their Scottishness. Unlike my generation that grew up in the '80s, they don't see our sense of identity as under threat.

This Network Generation have grown up in a connected world. With Skype, Facebook, Twitter and the Internet, the world is at their fingertips via their smart phone. They find the idea of watching TV programmes at a time to suit the broadcaster quaint and old-fashioned.

What people want is a sense of a better future to come.

Politics requires the sense of possibility. Dare I say it - the audacity of hope.
